This should be GREAT news to all you progressives suddenly concerned about budget deficits.

There isn't going to be any wall.

If a wall stopped half of those expected to successfully enter illegally without going through a port of entry at the southern border over the next 10 years, it would save taxpayers nearly $64 billion — several times the wall's cost.

this is what you're referencing right?

If it had any chance of that I'd be all for it.

it won't

Mine fields, with warning signs in English, would be a much cheaper option.

Did that study include the economic activity generated by those immigrants?

"If you build a 30 ft. wall, all it's going to do is create a market for 31 ft. ladders."

According to CirrhosisDawg those jobs are unskilled and don't mean anything anyways.

People enter the US from Mexico legally and then don't go back.
That's how illegal immigration happens.
A wall won't stop that.
Article is bullshit.

I say we deport their kids only. Then they can choose to go back. Would only cost half as much and obviously the parents would leave on their own accord.

I've been thinking about this and can't find any holes in this plan.
